Despite the efforts the health care providers (HCPs) exert to provide a fair service to ethnic minority patients they still struggle to provide a service that fulfils their patients’ cultural needs. Lack of cultural knowledge amongst British HCPs can lead to adverse clinical results and therefore poor quality of health care service (HCS). Hence, providing culturally competent HCS that meets the patient’s needs is a key to enhance HC. The interpreter can play a significant role to resolve cultural clash that might be related to gender difference or diet restrictions.
